The White House says it is not focused on former US President Donald Trump’s legal developments regarding 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, as prosecutors accused him of paying hush money to two women
The charges from an investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg come as Trump seeks the Republican nomination to run again in 2024.“A somber moment in the life of our country, when it’s necessary to arraign a former president on criminal charges,” Schiff, a Democrat of California, wrote on Tuesday afternoon.
“As the case falls to the DA to prove, we must recognize what is most important: Even the most powerful are held to account, and that nobody is above the law,” wrote Schiff, who was the lead prosecutor in the Senate impeachment trial of Trump in 2020.“Today is a bad day for all of us & we are all going to regret it for a very long time,” Rubio, a Republican of Florida, tweeted.
"Today we set the new normal that if you really want to take someone down, nothing should stop you. You should be able to manipulate the law anyway you want to charge someone," Rubio said in a video posted on his Twitter account, describing the charges against Trump as "absurd."“Take responsibility, hold yourself accountable, and go away,” Bowman, a Democrat of New York, said when reporters asked if he had a message for Trump.

"Donald has eluded accountability for so long and left so much destruction in his wake that there is a lot to take in," she added with the hashtag "#HappyIndictmentDay."
